BBQ with the sf kids in Philly

from state college, I drove out to north Philly to Melani and kyle's house for a BBQ. super sweet of them to host, and have all sort if yummy food prepared for us. the day was really hot and humid, and they had a party tent set up out back with a blower fan to keep us cool!

it was a lovely afternoon catching up with saf and Bev, Menard, Regine and jean Se and the kids, Mel & Kyle. it had been quite a while since I have see most of the east coast contingent.

we finished the evening off relaxing I. the front porch while taking in a awesome thunder and lightening storm. it was impressive, and a delight. I really miss thunder storms on the west coast!

old friend!

Sunday morning after the wedding I had the awesome opportunity to get together with erin mcnulty, the girl who was my best friend from 1-4th grade. her family moved to state college pa when we were In middle School, but our moms have remained close friends. it has easily been 20+ years since we have seen each other.

it was delightful to have breakfast and catch up for a little bit. I even got to meet Erin's daughter Fallon. such a cutie.

I hope it is way less than 20 years that go by before we see each other again!
